Antique Birds BookmarksCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

Occasion
Birthday / Birthday Friend

Printed the sheet on 250gm matte photo paper, then printed a pretty backing on the back of the sheet.

After cutting them out, I colored the cut edges with a metallic gold marker, distressed some of them a bit with walnut distress ink, and then raided my stash for ribbon, paper lace stickers, some clear stickers (butterflies, an egg, a little nest-added pretty stickers to the back of some of the bookmarks as well), a pretty bead, a feather charm, a stamp and postmark cut from vintage paper, a little pansy tag, and added some glitter to the spots on the peacock tail.

The designs are wonderful "as is", but it sure was fun to dress them up :-)
